Question for Americans about ethnic identity

[eppie]

But I am not a flag waving sort of person.

What about flag burning?

No you are right, I also get a rash from flag waving.
Flag waving is for the uneducated masses......so is flag-burning of course.

Angel; interesting question though.

Slightly related and maybe of interest for you.
In the Netherlands there is every year the discussion if we should invite German representatives at the 4 May (remembrance of the deaths during the second world war).

Sometimes in some occasions, some ambassador is invited, but it has never become common practice.
Personally I don't know exactly where I stand on this one.
(let's just say as long as they are not waving flags)
